Nearly eighty riders -50 men + about thirty women- still in contention for 40 spots into Finals, where we will select our future ten Movistar eTeam members.
There’s only two weeks of racing left in the Movistar Team Challenge, which has been running for the last few days with athletes pre-selected by Zwift fighting against those qualified in the community rounds. Only 78 competitors remain into a talent ID contest which will be holding, this Wednesday and Friday, its penultimate round: the Selection Races.
At this third step of the competition, the system remains the same as in the Invitational Races: two tough races (Wednesday’s will be held over three laps of the fast, lumpy Beach Island Loop) which award points to the top finishers at each – in this case, 20 per event.
The 20 women and men with most points after Friday’s race will be transferred, after verification from ZADA, to the Finals that will be held in March, events where claiming the win – and thus entering the Movistar eTeam – will no longer depend exclusively on sporting performance.
